Nah, I'll go golf this afternoon.

I did finish up the Brewers yesterday, and I got a small start on the Pirates. I went back to make sure my Diamondbacks team was complete (had a few more positions to fill I forgot about) and adjusted accordingly.

I'm hoping tomorrow night is when I can say that all teams are complete.

After that, I just need to fill in the 1 or 2 RP's missing from each team to form a complete bullpen, and get on with it.

I'll still keep you all updated, but this project is in the final stages.

Re: MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

hey man i was wondering what the situation with the minor leagues would be. are you leaving the default minor leagues in the game or are you doing them too? cause if so that is incredible, ill probably use the yankees or mariners, but if the minors are in there i may just use the royals for beltran, or sell the farm to get him iwth one of those other 2 teams. so are you doing full minors as well?
thanks

I think he's said it's just 25 man rosters.

Yup.

I think the full minors would be excellent, but between finding existing players with the right potential, finding the time (and patience) and just flat out doing all of the work would be the death of me.

At this point I just feel fortunate to have gotten as far as I have.

Re: MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

I am still doing some research for the few missing pitchers, but as of now the entire set is finished and the Diamondbacks and Rays are 100% complete.

Look for this to hit around early next week.

Re: MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

I have been following this since the beginning. The AL set is awesome. Can you post what you have complete as of now so we can get a taste of the NL? I can't wait to see my Braves in action. Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks.

I do think that both Cy Young winners had some crazy stat lines, but I can live with that.

A lot of stat lines are coming out okay, but I have mixed feelings on the HR totals.

A lot of average players seemingly had a career year in 96 for HR's. There are numerous players that his 25, 30, 35, etc... HR's in 96 but never topped 15 before or again in their career. Jay Bell (not in 96) hit like 30+ HRs one year but never got close before or after.

I keep reminding myself that this was the start/peak of the steroid era so that explains how power numbers for some guys are higher.

The most disturbing total I seen was from Ryno. He hit 25 HR's in 96, but drilled 40 in the game.

I guess it's not such a big deal since he hammered 40 in 1990, but I am trying to keep the offensive stats as close as possible.

Anyways, I'll post another run when these are all complete and include more fresh relief for the pitchers.

Re: MLB 2012 - 1996 Classic Roster Project

Alright guys, I have a quick update.

As of 10:30 AM Central Time, I am going to take care of some things at work and play a round or two of golf with a friend.

The reason I'm telling you this is because I think when I get back I can finish the set. Tonight.

I will keep everyone posted but it's looking like you can expect a release of these either tonight or tomorrow.

Be easy.

Whoa! Look at my Buccos! Must be that pitching staff because they had no hitters in '96. The post-Bonds, pre-Giles years were VERY lean.
